History
The club was established in 1903 by a merger of Whitchurch Rovers and Whitchurch Albion. They joined the Hampshire League in 1958,[1] and in 1989–90 they won Division Two and were promoted to Division One. In 1991–92 they finished third and moved up to the Wessex League.[2] After finishing bottom of the league in 1993–94 they were relegated back to the Hampshire League. However, they finished as runners-up in their first season back in the Hampshire League Premier Division, and were promoted back to the Wessex League.
They finished bottom of the league in 2002–03 but avoided relegation. After finishing bottom again the following season they were relegated to the league's newly formed Division Two.[2]
The 2012–13 season saw the club finish as runners-up in Division 1 of the Sydenhams (Wessex) League, behind leaders Brockenhurst (only by goal difference) and gain promotion to the Premier Division.[3]
